    Our experience has been getting yield but no more. With the transfer roller, instead of a corona, they wear faster.

    I know on Kyoceras they have rubber charge rollers that get nasty with paper dust. Over time they will degrade from the oxidizing ozone & eventually get high voltage bubble/pop/arc spots in the rubber. Life on the charge rollers is generally 80k & at best 120k. Their amorphous silicon drums are supposed to last to 600k!!! Weak point is the charge rollers without a doubt!!!

    If the machine runs good volume you can get 400K on a drum.
    Whatever

    That is quite true for the C360 and 4 series. The 8 and 7 series machines, high or low volume, get to yield or a bit over and then lines develop.
    KonMin wasn't selling enough drums so they went to the charge roller design so they would fail sooner and thus sell more drums.

    True for the color machines yes but this b/w box rocks and makes real good yield on volumes.
    Whatever

    I think there is some truth to this as well. I know we've had some low volume 4e machines come back out of the field after three years or so and never had to change a drum. They should offer replaceable charger units.
